Ryan O’Shaughnessy makes Britain's Got Talent 2012 live shows!

Britain's Got Talent 2012 - Ryan

Ryan O’Shaughnessy will compete in the Britain’s Got Talent 2012 semi-finals, despite a telling off from Simon Cowell.

We saw on last night’s show Simon explain that the judges couldn’t put him through to the live shows due to his contract on The Voice of Ireland.

He said at the end of the show: “Right now I know exactly what I want to do, I need to get home, get that organised so I can get out of that show and come back over here and do BGT because that’s what I want to do”

It was confirmed today that Ryan had managed to get things organised and therefore would be taking part in the live shows this week.

“I’m over the moon to be through to the semi-finals, I was contracted to do another show, but I’ve since been released from my contract,” he told the ITV1 website.

19-year-old Ryan went on: “I want to thank the judges for giving me a second chance. The reveal was such an emotional ordeal for me. I was fraught with nerves. I felt as though I’d let Simon down. Simon’s somebody you want to please, so it felt awful to disappoint him.”

The Dublin singer added: “I’m looking forward to the live shows. I’ve been working on new material and focusing on the music.”

The Britain’s Got Talent live shows start tonight on ITV1 from 8PM.
